In the recent episode of SBS‘s Whenever Possible, Kim Jong Kook participated in a quiz game where everyone had to guess the identity of a singer when their faces are flashed in front of them during their respective turns. When it was Kim Jong Kook’s turn, he was shown a photo of BLACKPINK member Jisoo.

Though Kim Jong Kook is a veteran entertainment program star, he got unexpectedly flustered in the moment and failed to recognize the BLACKPINK member on time. Instead, he blurted out, “Who is this?” His team members, perplexed by the question, yelled out that it was Jisoo.

As soon as he realized what had happened, he climbed on top of the table and knelt down, saying, “Please spare me, just this once.” The room broke into a chuckle seeing his extravagant apology.

Meanwhile, apart from being an idol and a member of one of the best-known girl groups in the world, Jisoo is also currently hot topic for her upcoming K-Drama Newtopia. Read more about netizens’ early reactions to her performance right here.
